A grand old cemetery, full of history. I picked up rubbish left behind by tossers and sad to see so many dogs running around off lead when the signs quite clearly indicate they must be on leash 😪🐕🦺
So much history in one place. When you walk along the aisle between the graves, you will certainly feel like travelling through time!
I'm always drawn to cemeteries. They offer an insight into the history of a region and inspire. Ballarat's Old Cemetery is no exception. it's definitely worth visiting and spending as much time as you can. You don't need relatives in residence, just respect and appreciation. The best time to go is when the sky is busy and sunlight shafts, but anytime is fine.
